Happy Thanksgiving
This is from “Christmas Story” but I think it applies to Thanksgiving dinner as well. May yours be just as merry. No posts until after the holiday.

Here’s a side of Hitler you don’t always get to see.
Who Is the President?
Not that I mind him taking over, but I find it amusing that Obama is acting much more Presidential and just sort of taking over the job while President Bush seems content to let it happen.
Obama held another news conference today to announce more of his economic team and to announce more economic decisions. He could’ve been economical and done all this in one day, but I get the sense he wants to be seen as out in front of this before he gets into office (duh) so that he can hit the ground running.
Palin on Turkey Slaughter: "No Worries"
I promise there will be a reprieve from the turkey slaughter talk in time for Thanksgiving, but this is just funny.
Palin denies that she knew what was going on in the background during the interview, but the photographer has a different story. From Andrew Sullivan:
Scott Jensen is the one who filmed the scene. He’s local station KTUU’s award winning chief photographer. He told CC from KUDO radio yesterday that Sarah Palin, who was standing next to her personal assistant throughout the entire interview, chose the spot on which she stood for the “turkey slaughter interview” that quickly went viral on the internet, and received wide coverage in the news media. The turkey slaughter was already underway when the governor chose the spot. The photographer pointed out what was going on and asked her if she wanted to move. She said, “No worries.”But Palin is now denying all of it, and implicitly calling the photographer a liar:
“The [Alaska] governor did not know it was going on behind her,” Palin’s spokesperson tells ET of the reportedly grisly scene at Triple D Farm & Hatchery outside Wasilla. Cameras captured Palin extending the annual Thanksgiving pardon to one turkey while a farm hand slaughtered the bird’s feathered friends in the background.
Olbermann and the Unblurred Palin Turkey Video
Olbermann watches the Palin turkey video (unblurred – so watch out) for the first time live on Countdown last night. Olbermann mixes in the class WKRP Turkey drop episode and adds this classic line to sum up Palin’s faux pas: “As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.”
